Flaws: There are some minor skips at 7:22 and 7:30 on disc 2 track 3. And this is the most important part because Billy is

Notes

Well, I'm pleased to say that I was personally on the barricade at this show. I didn't know it at the time, but this

turned out to be a pretty monumental show. It was the VERY first live performance of B.W.B.W. ever!! A whole 19 MONTHS before

Mellon Collie was released - and I was only 5 feet away - hehe. Anyway, this show holds the ONLY known tease of Communication

Breakdown [Led Zepplin], one of only 4 known teases of Spaced (and recall that Pisces Iscariot wasn't released until

Oct. 94 - still 7 months from this show), as well as one of the very few versions of Bye June (which you can tell that

Billy would've played the whole thing if he could only have remembered it). It also has only one of 3 known teases of

Unchained [Van Halen]. And it all happened in a matter of 15 minutes. As I said, I didn't know the full meaning of

this show at the time, but I'm glad I was a part of it.

Subject: First Performance of "Bullet With Butterfly Wings"

This version of BWBW is very close to the recorded version: the same structure, same dynamics, same melody. The lyrics are the only major evolution from this first live version to the record. Interesting most for comparison. Recording is 2/5.
